Halo is one of those video game franchises that is ripe for a big or small screen adaptation. Peter Jackson and Neill Blomkamp had made attempts to make the former happen. Although, it “ended up collapsing,” and as a result, the film was put on an indefinite hold. But now the game is respawning for the small screen at Showtime. According to new reports, a Halo TV show has found its showrunner and will start filming in 2019. More on the story below.

A trailer for the upcoming movie Scenic Route has been released, which stars Josh Duhamel and Dan Fogler as two close friends whose bond will be tested when they break down in the middle of the desert.

You can check out the trailer for the movie, a synopsis, and my thoughts below.
